Performance Specification for Urban Operations Training Systems

SCOPE.

This document establishes and defines the performance specifications for Urban Operations Training Systems (UOTS). UOTS for this effort include the following sites and types of efforts:

a. Integrated Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) Training Systems (IMTS)

i. Combined Arms Collective Training Facility (CACTF)

ii. Shoot House (SH)

iii. Urban Assault House (UAC)

b. Mobile MOUT

c. Combat Training Center MOUT-Instrumentation Systems (CTC MOUT-IS)

d. UOTS Site Upgrades and Technology Refresh

e. Integration with other DOD Systems (Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC); Tactical Systems; Command, Control, Communications, Computers, & Intelligence (C4I))

f. Other MOUT, Urban Operations Training Systems, enhancements, updates, upgrades and changes required for Urban Operations Training

This covers all Army, Army Reserve, National Guard, and DOD sites located both CONUS and OCONUS. This includes all Foreign Military Sales (FMS), sales to other countries and to qualified federal, state and municipal agencies. This provides the support necessary for Corps of Engineers Reviews (Charrettes, Design, and Inspections), UOTS Information Assurance, UOTS Engineering, and UOTS Logistics.

Background.

There has been a shortage of training systems for MOUT exercises. The UOTS programs will provide multiple systems for small unit training up to Brigade and provide numerous locations and scenarios for training.

Goal.

The intent of UOTS is to provide urban training solutions which fulfill various aspects of individual, collective, and combined arms training requirements. UOTS also addresses other-than-war operations (such as peacekeeping missions), homeland defense and anti-terrorism scenarios. UOTS also includes MOUT efforts associated with the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT).

UOTS supports both fixed permanent and non-permanent structure facilities and allows for the addition or expansion to existing facilities and the integration across sites and mission domains (Live, Virtual, and Constructive).

UOTS will immerse the training participants into the realism of the event. UOTS environment must allow and support flexibility and changing scenarios to prevent learned responses vice learning benefit. Finally, UOTS must include unexpected events for the training audience.

Exterior Cameras.

Exterior cameras shall provide for color views during daylight hours and clear intelligible images during low illumination conditions. Cameras shall have pan, tilt, zoom, and focus capabilities that can be controlled from the ROC by the operator. Exterior cameras shall be capable of operating under natural environmental conditions. Exterior cameras shall connect to the closest network connection to send digital data across the network to the ROC. Power available at the exterior camera location is 240VAC.

After Action Review (AAR).

The AAR component shall provide applications and equipment to select, edit, manage and display recorded/bookmarked A/V footage and presentations. Recorded/bookmarked A/V footage shall be capable of being dragged and dropped or copied into an AAR play list for use during the AAR. Software accessing the A/V database shall have Standard Query Language (SQL) capability.
